2024 Webinar 2: Understanding Flexible Work Requests

When an employee asks for flexibility at work, whether it is a change in hours or working from home, there are several things people managers should consider before deciding on the outcome.

Please join our Director, Carli Saw, as she addresses some of the common questions and provides advice and insight into:

  • Fair Work requirements around flexible work
  • What are your obligations when an employee asks you to change their hours?
  • On what grounds can you say no to requests for flexible work?
  • Managing requests to work from home
  • Can an employer ask employees to change their working days or hours?

My HR career began over 25 years ago after completing a Bachelor of Business with a major in Human Resources. I worked for large companies and gained experience across various industries, including IT, building and construction, oil and gas and automotive.One of my most rewarding roles was HR Manager for a business with fewer than 50 employees. In this role, I worked with the leadership team to build a solid foundation for the management and engagement of their employees. So, when I decided to start my own business in 2013, I focused on bringing my HR experience to small businesses that do not have in-house HR support but still have the same issues around managing their people.Over the last eleven plus years, I have been privileged to work with hundreds of businesses nationwide. I love that we help them gain peace of mind, knowing they are meeting their HR obligations, finding the right staff, or supporting them through stressful employee situations. What I love most is the fantastic team of HR professionals who have joined me on the Strawberry Seed journey. As any small business owner knows, bringing in others to work with your clients can be daunting. Each and every member of the Strawberry Seed team is a true asset to their profession and our brand. I unequivocally could not do this without them.
